Attend Massachusetts Maritime Academy as a Veteran and Walk Away With at Least $1,938

Thanks to the Post-9/11 GI Bill® (assuming you fully qualify), we expect your yearly benefits to exceed your cost to attend Massachusetts Maritime Academy by at least $1,938.

Public College Tuition Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

If you live in Massachusetts and you qualify for full benefits, your tuition and fees will be covered by your Post-9/11 benefits. If you live outside of Massachusetts and it has been less than three years since your discharge Massachusetts Maritime Academy will consider you an in-state student anyways and you will be fully covered.

Yellow Ribbon Program Participant But With Limitations

If you have tuition and fees charges that are not covered by your Post-9/11 benefits, you may be able to get additional assistance in the form of a Yellow Ribbon Award. While Massachusetts Maritime Academy participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, it places some limitations on the awards it grants, so your participation in this program is not guaranteed.

Massachusetts Maritime Academy awarded a total of $62,296 in Yellow Ribbon benefits last year. This was split among 10 veterans for an average award of $6,230 ($12,459 after government matching).

The following table may show you how likely you are to have outstanding tuition costs covered by the Yellow Ribbon Program at Massachusetts Maritime Academy. Remember, contributions from the college will be matched by the VA.
